I had to replace a frost proof spigot for a used car dealer because his
drain bamaged employee left the hose on it full of water. It actually
burst inside the wall. o_O

But, it was a used car dealer, did that give you a little sadistic pleasure?

I think a lot of people don't get the concept. And I doubt
that in most cases a drip is going to prevent freezing. How much
water you need to flow would seem to depend on how exposed to the
cold the pipe in question is. A 1" pipe that is exposed to 15F along
10 feet would seem to require a more substantial flow than a 1/2"
pipe that's exposed for 6 inches. I don't think a drip is going
to stop that larger, longer pipe from freezing

Maybe he did. It sure looks to me like it is still dripping. Therefore,
unfrozen. With some ice insulation.

In firefighting it is a topic that is discussed
every winter. Leave the pumps dry or wet? It's
also fun melting the couplings from the exhaust
of the trucks so you can throw the sections in a
truck to take them back to the firehouse to thaw.
Sometimes at a big fire you just couldn't drain it
fast enough...

Did the used cars have antifreeze in them? Did you
taste it?
